He was looking for someone to carry on the million dollar legacy. DiBiase praises Grimes and puts him over as Million Dollar Champion. Grimes admits DiBiase drove him nuts when he first arrived. Grimes is glad DiBiase tested him. Grimes says before DiBiase, Grimes didn't have an accomplishment worth bragging about. Grimes says there's no way he was going to allow DiBiase be LA Knight's butler. So, together, they took care of Knight and Grimes became champ! Grimes says he's wore out from celebrating and asks DiBiase where they're going next? DiBiase tells Grimes he already knows! In unison, they say "TO THE MOON!!!!" MONEY FALLS FROM THE CEILING!!!
